Leadership positions at the Tennessee Valley Authority are the most lucrative government jobs in the U.S. Since 2020, the top six executives at TVA have collectively banked nearly $90 million. CEO made $12M a year for three years.

"People who rely on TVA for power are the ones losing out. They're continuing to pay executives who are making decisions contrary to the public good," said Gaby Sarri-Tobar, an energy justice campaigner at the center. read more

For the first time in 74 years, CBC did not broadcast NHL hockey on Saturday night, instead filling its traditional Hockey Night in Canada window with cricket. The change follows the end of CBC's agreement with Sportsnet, with the two sides unable to reach a new deal after Rogers secured a new 12-year, $11-billion NHL rights agreement. CBC says it will continue broadcasting hockey, including women's PWHL games, but the end of Saturday-night NHL coverage marks a major break from one of the broadcaster's most iconic traditions. read more

Almost like they're desperate to deflect from Ken Paxton headlines like:
It certainly would be a good play.
I was really surprised Talarico was claiming he was at home. Doesn't he have Internet?
Just seems quite odd, running for something in a tight race to just disappear for 12-13 days no appearances, then claim the flu on day 14.

Well it is Texas ...
Pro tip: HIPAA doesn't allow medical facilities to confirm treatment or give details. But correcting a lie about a non-patient IS LEGAL.
You should really ask a pro before claiming a "pro tip".
HIPPA does nor prohibit medical facilities from saying they were admitted either.
Yes. Covered hospitals and other covered health care providers can use a facility directory to inform visitors or callers about a patient's location in the facility and general condition

Trumpy is too busy vomiting in his own mouth (campaigning) and accusing Minnesotans of fraud and blaming Somalians (and probably transsexuals) for eating your pets to actually prevent easily preventable fraud.

You really need to think before posting.
Adam Hamilton did the Humiliation ritual by travelling to Israel 3 years ago and also still refuses to call it a genocide.
How is it genocide when the population increased?

Why do people lie when the data is so clearly incorrect?
Tell me again how America isn't slowly but surely becoming Israel.
I think you're a little confused, perhaps. Israel plants trees, Muslims destroy them.
Pretty incredible to think of planting Trees to fight climate change as weapons ... but here we are....

Perhaps you can sign a petition: Don't Cut Down RFK's Heritage Trees
On September 15, the DC Council approved the redevelopment of the RFK campus. Unfortunately, despite a groundswell of support, the Heritage Tree exemption was included in the final legislation. However, that same day, the Commanders issued a letter with commitments to protect as many Heritage Trees as possible, maintain large areas of green space, and implement zero-waste measures.
